When Tattoo Cover Up May Become Necessary

By Amy Ward


Very few people consider the possibility of removing or covering up a tattoo at the time they decide to get it. However, many find themselves looking for a solution for tattoo cover up down the line and may find that it is actually a necessity. Many employers now require that their employees cover any visible tattoo especially if it is a business environment. Then one might simply regret the decision to get the tattoo and want to have it changed completely. These are just a couple viable reasons one might have to look into solutions.

We need to determine exactly what we want the cover up to accomplish before we look to see what is available on the market to get this task completed. Do we need to cover something temporarily or is there a need for something more permanent. Additionally we need to determine the budget we have in mind as cost is often a determining factor.

If the decision is that the cover up should be a permanent fix, it narrows choices down to two. The obvious first permanent option would be to undergo laser removal of the tattoo. This option to remove the art can be lengthy, expensive, and somewhat painful. It is important to note that there has been some advances recently introduced that claims to be less painful ways to cover up the unwanted art.

If, on the other hand, it is not really necessary to have it removed, perhaps another option is available. One can consider lightening the original art or even adding to it to change its original appearance to something a bit more appealing or meaningful. People change, times change, so our tastes in things change as well so updating an old tat may make more sense.

If something more appealing sounds like an option, changing the original tattoo to something else may be an option for you. Obviously it depends on the size, color, and placement of the original one. Let us not forget the artist that is tackling the job. Choose one that is more experienced as they will provide the most options in the least amount of time and perhaps ensure that it is done right the second time around.

In fact, it is vitally important to find the right artist. Covering up an existing tat with a new one is complicated. Finding an artist that has experience in doing this allows you to obtain suggestions and optimal results. After all, dealing with old ink and re-designing a tattoo is complicated and you want to be satisfied with the end results.

Once research has been completed, it may be decided that a temporary fix might be good enough. If this is the case, one can find various concealers and makeup which was designed specifically for the use of covering up tats. These products are quite easy to find and available everywhere. The variety of products include smudge proof and waterproof options. There are also products guaranteeing maximum results.

Some of the concealers come in a variety of shades which allow the individual to match skin tones. There are others that provide tips on mixing for a better match. Finally, if the artwork is located on an arm or leg, there are stretch bandages that can be used to slide over the arm to temporarily cover the art which may be an easier solution if is done on a daily basis. Whatever the reason, cover up is often needed and used by many for temporary and permanent solutions.
